The money required could probably pay for a full cage, race seat & harness... just a thought.
I'd love more power in the Mustang, but I think I'm just gonna keep the engine the way it is for the forseeable future while I start getting track time in it. I'd rather do my learning in a relatively low power car, rather than a high-powered one... |
The cage, seats, harnesses and fire system are on the list as well, since I need them all to be Solo1 legal.
I'm not planning on making more power quite yet. The tranny will not only prepare the car to handle more power, it will also make the power I've got now a whole lot more useful. I'm hoping w/ the close ratio 6-speed I will be competitive with the NESP STis running against them from NSM. Sure they'll still have about 30hp over me (you bastards and your re-maps) but I think my suspension and brakes still a tiny bit better. If I can make better use of the power I've got, I think I can hang.
The additional power comes later... maybe next year. Unless I find a complete STi drivetrain for cheap. (Hey what tranny came on the v7 JDM STi? It was a 5-speed wasn't it?
)
